OUR MISSION

Empowering women,
transforming lives,
creating a vision
beyond sight

At the Rehabilitation Centre for Blind Women in Trichy, we believe in the boundless potential of every woman. Founded in 1975 by the visionary Dr. G. Joseph Gnandickam, our mission is simple yet profound: to empower visually challenged women to lead independent, fulfilling lives through skill development and community support. 

Under the dedicated leadership of Mrs. Vimala Moses, we continue to uphold this legacy of transformation and hope.

“Great quality products at highly nominal prices. It is amazing to see what visually challenged women can achieve when given the right support and strength!”

“I bought a single bedsheet from the organization. The beautiful yet simple and intricate design is worth the appreciation. The material of the bedsheet is very sturdy and with machine wash also the colors and design remains intact after serval washes.”

“I purchased a bedsheet from Rehabilitation Centre for Blind Women about a year ago. It’s print was precise, and the material sturdy. After over a year of regular usage, the colour is still bright. The availability of various designs and patterns is almost as appealing as the social impact created by the purchase.”

“I have used towels, bedspread and pouches made by inmates of the rehabilitation centre. My first thought was its sad that they cannot view their beautiful creations. I would give ten on ten for quality and design. Besides I have a sense of satisfaction too that in a small way, I have helped bring a smile on someone’s face. Wishing the centre good luck in all your endeavours.”
